Should I clutch my pearls or something? Don't go into the Death Zone or approach it without knowing the risks. Also know that there are a lot of douchecanoes who will not let anything or anyone get in their way in making it to the top.*

Have fun. It is one thing to pay $100.000's of dollars to risk your life, another to pay someone $5000 to save it. The assumption that high on the mountain means you are on your own is a given, many/most of the bodies came before the stunt you seem to like. You asked for an answer, I gave you one, maybe not the most informed, but I'm sure I am a small tad more qualified than you to discuss realistic aviation.

Both Aydin Irmak and Lincoln Hall were left for dead by climbers on the way to the summit, only to be rescued (and even walk down) by others later. Beck Weathers was also prematurly given up for dead. "Well, he's alive and breathing, but ahhh he'll probably die and I have a summet to make" strikes me as a little selfish, but I am not a climber.

The body of "Green Boots," an Indian climber who died in 1996 and is believed to be Tsewang Paljor, lies near a cave that all climbers must pass on their way to the peak. Green Boots now serves as a waypoint marker that climbers use to gauge how near they are to the summit. Green Boots met his end after becoming separated from his party. He sought refuge in a mountain overhang, but to no avail. He sat there shivering in the cold until he died.

sammyk:I like adrenalin as much as the next guy, but when I am using bodies of those that have failed before me it's time to find a safer way to thrill seek.

I wouldn't be to keen on seeing the corpses, but the only reason they are there is because they are so difficult to move. There are plenty of other activities that people die doing but they remove the bodies. Think if all the people who drowned in a lake were still preserved somehow and floating there.
